MySQL Error With Usernames With A -

Apparently there is a problem with the new build regaurding MySQL with users who have a - in their usernames. It will not show the MySQL information in the admin. Is there a way to make a fix for this and release it immediately?

Its already resolved in the latest EDGE releases. Please see the ChangeLog on layer1

Issue is still ongoing for me, even after upgrade of Cpanel to WHM 7.1.0 & Cpanel 7.1.9-R73

Databases now show in Admin when created, user names too are added and with correct '-' however the database itself when created still omits the '-' therefore connection to the database is not possible.

Perhaps you should just modify the username so that it doesn't have a hyphen in it--problem solved.

The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the unrest of those to follow.

Mysql databases are now created correctly, however some pre-installed scripts like Advanced Guestbook still cause problems. Even though Data Bases are now made correctly, I think the install routine for some of the scripts needs a looking at.

End of the day, in future I won't allow user names with a - in them just in case (I set all mine up manually by choice)

But I too, have clients with long established web sites and installed scripts with path names all with a - in them. these in particular do not currently require any Mysql, but should they in future I think it would mean a fair bit of work.

So for me, Mysql is making databases ok even with a - in username, just can't use some preinstalled scripts using auto install, as the install script is confused by the -
